General ⇒ placing a figure above the title

[LMNOP]

I would like to place a figure above the title on the first page. When I try putting an \includegraphics before \maketitle, the figure is on a page by itself (before the title, though). Anyone know how to get around this?

Thanks ahead of time.

A simple solution:

Code: Select all

\author{Your name}
\title{\includegraphics{file}\\[1cm] The title}
\date{\today}
\maketitle

The optional argument of \\ serves to add a bit of space between the figure and the title. Instead of using \maketitle (together with \author, \title and \date), you can design the title page by yourself, writing suitable commands inside a titlepage environment.

A little supplement to Juanjo's response: here (titlepages.pdf) you can find examples that can be used as inspiration for the design of a beautiful titlepage.

Awesome, thanks. I never thought to put the figure inside the actual title. Never underestimate the flexibility of LaTex.
